N604PJ

The airframe bearing tail number N604PJ is a Cessna 550 Citation II built in 1983, serial 550-0459. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by JERE AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Fond du Lac, WI, US, which is listed as the operator/home base on registry records. No other ownership transfers or notable registry events are published for this airframe in the supplied data. A recent valuation places the airframe at $969,000, indicating its market position among legacy light business jets of its vintage.

This specific Citation II is configured in an 8-place executive layout (typical) cabin suitable for small corporate or private transport missions. The aircraft’s performance—cruise at 369 kts and a maximum practical ceiling of 43,000 ft—supports fast regional hops and transcontinental legs within its 1,900 nm range, commonly used for business travel, charter work, and owner-flown operations based out of Fond du Lac, WI. Avionics fit and detailed interior finish for this airframe are not published in the provided data; routine maintenance considerations follow JT15D-4 engine service intervals and legacy Citation airframe inspection programs. Given the airframe’s age and listed valuation, ongoing corrosion control, interior refurbishments and avionics upgrades are typical considerations for continued operational availability.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies the light, twin-engine business jet niche as a development of the original Citation family, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability than early Citations. With two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines delivering 2,500 lbf each and an 8-place executive cabin, it competes historically with models such as early Learjet and Hawker 700 series aircraft. Buyer demand tends toward cost-conscious operators and owner-flown buyers seeking lower acquisition cost; resale and maintenance considerations for a 1983 airframe include parts availability, engine TBO status, and the market impact of required avionics or interior refurbishments relative to the $969,000 valuation.
